Of course, the poor play of the Devils could be due to one of the two main features of New Jersey: air pollution and political corruption. Perhaps the players are breathing the air of all the chemical plants near Newark, or perhaps the team is being paid to lose as part of some statewide gambling ring among elected officials. Of course, I'm pretty sure they could just lose on their own.

Thanks smc, it looks like your Devils slight, goaded them into playing a fairly decent game for once.

I am not sure how true this is, but Travis Zajac(a Centre on the Devil's) said "I think our top three lines are the best in the league. I'd put us up against anyone." Considering the play of the Devils in the past month or two, I wouldn't necessarily believe what he says. What do Devils fans think about his comment?

A 6-3 win may have been good, but some of the post match comments were a bit over the top. OK the three lines worked for one game, a game in which the Devils had six different players scoring their six goals. But how will the Devils do against better opponents?
Maybe this new system is one they've been trying since signing Ilya Kovalchuk five weeks ago and on Wednesday it clicked for the first time.
We'll have to see if Wednesday's post match optimism remains after tonight's game against Divisional rivals and the Penguins.
